At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

On the other side, Gu Yu was searching on his computer "What to say to soothe an angry girlfriend?"

Baidu search replied, "You could say this: Your fragrance draws me, your spiritual energy tempts me, your elegance fascinates me!"

Gu Yu: "What the hell, is this a greasy pick-up line script?"

Gu Yu, annoyed, shut down the Baidu search and couldn't bother looking at those awful apologies anymore.

Instead, he picked up his phone and started booking adult tickets for Disneyland on a travel app.

After buying the tickets, his gaze then swept to the travel tips below.

Remembering he had promised Xinyue to make the travel tips, he enthusiastically started reading them.

However, after checking a few, they were all clichéd Check-in Points strategies, far from what he had expected.

After all, this trip to Disneyland was for a big occasion.

Just then, just as Gu Yu was about to open another travel guide, a pop-up suddenly "biu" appeared in his mind.

[Disney Romantic Journey Proposal Mission Released! Mission content: Propose in the Disneyland castle lobby, make Lin Xinyue moved to tears and accept the proposal.]

[Mission Reward: 99999 Check-in Points (with a togetherness ring pair!)]

Gu Yu was startled; he hadn't expected the system to also join in on the fun.

But this was actually perfect, as that's exactly what he had in mind. His relationship with Xinyue had progressed to this stage, and he felt the timing for a proposal was just about right.

The timing of this mission's release was really prompt; 99,999 Check-in Points, essentially 100,000, could already be used for many things.

If he could successfully complete the mission, these Check-in Points would undoubtedly solve his current urgent need for more points.

"Accept mission," Gu Yu accepted the Check-in mission without hesitation.

[Ding! Mission accepted successfully! Togetherness ring obtained as mission reward!]

The system notification sounded in his mind.

Immediately after, Gu Yu felt something hard appear in his pocket.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a red ring box from the right side.

Gently opening it, inside were two gold rings with ruby stones.

They looked very expensive.

"This even saves me the money for buying the rings... the system is quite reliable sometimes."

Taking out a sapphire ring, Gu Yu put the slightly larger one on his finger, and the ring automatically tightened, fitting snugly on his finger without being too tight or at risk of falling off.

Suddenly, Yu felt a connection between his spirit and the ring, and a virtual space appeared in his mind.

This virtual space wasn't a spatial ring, but rather a two-dimensional localization space, where two blue light points were revolving around each other like binary stars.

Yu subconsciously sent out a psychic probe towards the twin blue stars.

Immediately, the two blue stars collided, turning the virtual space into a starmap with the two stars fixed on the connecting lines of light.

They were very close, almost overlapping each other.

Yu looked at the other ring still in the box in front of him and suddenly realized that these were a pair of sensing rings.

He stood up and headed towards the office door, and indeed, the distance between the pair of blue stars in his mind widened slightly.

And there were streams of light indicating the direction of the other blue star.

This was like a high-tech ring with long-range fuzzy location capabilities that ignored any blocking!

Of course, Yu hadn't noticed any chips embedded in the ring.

The stuff the system produces probably wouldn't be that low-grade.

"Interesting, this togetherness ring really is a great item," he murmured.

Gu Yu returned to his desk, withdrew his mental perception, and the star chart reverted to a nebulous space with two blue twin stars orbiting each other.

In other words, he wouldn't use the tracking feature unless he deliberately sensed it.

Gu Yu had wanted to play with the ring some more, but he suddenly saw Lin Xinyue walking towards his office from outside.

He quickly pocketed the ring.

This was meant for a proposal—no surprises would be left if it was revealed early.

How else would Xinyue be moved to tears?

He pretended to be engrossed in his phone.

Lin Xinyue pushed open the door.

Then, she placed a folder on Gu Yu's desk.

"Here's the recent financial report. The company's expenses have definitely increased, and the revenue from the last two games we released has started to decline significantly."

"If our company doesn't launch a new product soon, we'll be in the red in at most a month," she explained, her tone strictly professional.

Though she tried to appear unconcerned, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yu's phone.

Upon seeing that Gu Yu was reading a guide on Disney, a slight smile appeared on her face, but remembering her current fury, she quickly composed herself.

"Already? I thought Divine Dragon and the simulator could hold us over for a while longer..."

Gu Yu grabbed the folder and started reviewing the various financial statements.

He knew earnings from Divine Dragon and the simulator were falling, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

Logically, though the popularity of these games was decreasing, the revenue should have covered the company's expenses for several months with ease.

"Before, even six months wouldn't have seen such a deficit, but now, the company's staff has expanded fivefold. Not to mention the basic salaries and bonuses, even the monthly welfare expenses are considerable."

"Plus, there are the company's refreshment costs, stationery costs, equipment maintenance costs…" Lin Xinyue listed, counting on her fingers.

Listening, Gu Yu felt a headache coming on and quickly interjected, "Stop, stop, stop—I get it. I hadn't realized there were so many expenses, but let's just deal with the deficit . We still haven't touched the money in the company accounts!"

"Moreover, didn't the development department say they could have a beta version of a new game ready by the end of the month at the latest? I believe my brother and his team can pull off another hit."

Gu Yu looked through the glass partition towards the development department on the other side, where the door still bore a 'Staff Only' sign. It seemed the King of Competition's team had already begun their work.

Seeing Gu Yu holding his head, Lin Xinyue pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "Of course, our company has deep pockets. Even if we don't make money, it wouldn't be a problem to sustain everyone for a decade."

"But running a company means aiming to make money! I don't care; this time you have to figure it out on your own. I'm not letting you be a hands-off manager this time," Lin Xinyue glared at Gu Yu, her annoyance still evident.

Gu Yu's headache worsened, and he clutched his head, saying, "Alright, I'll figure it out."

Lin Xinyue glared at him fiercely, "You've had it too easy as the boss! This time, you really need to lose some brain cells!"

Gu Yu was taken aback.

Was this a mix of personal and professional grievances?

But Lin Xinyue didn't wait for a response and left once again.
